For I am always glad when you seek me,
like that time, Nicodemus when you came in the night
or that time, Mary, when sat at my feet, despite the scorn of your sister.

So many have sought me and some have turned away.

I understand why.

Not many seek me today.

But today I cover you with the compassion of God.

It flows from my wounds.

Compassion

Gentleness

Mercy

Love

Look up, don’t keep your eyes to the ground.

Look up and you will see.

Look beyond the agony and you will find

My compassion

My gentleness

My mercy

My love

These gifts I give to you today as I have every day.

I’m glad that you came.

Do not despair,
for hands that have been wounded are gentler than those that are whole
and a heart that has been broken is one that will heal others
and blood and water flowing from my side will become a sign of grace.

Brothers, have no fear of men’s sin. Love a man even in his sin, for that is the semblance of Divine Love and is the highest love on earth. Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
